The War of Self
Project | Art

I was once told that we were born blank. Blank is a word I’ve thought about a lot, I then discovered that the real meaning of the word blank meant nothing, it meant blank. We were so little, so pure, no opinion, no views, no language, no religion, nothing at all, blank!

We are basically the paintings of the ones before us. Our choices, opinions and belief systems are largely affected by the setup of the society we’ve developed in.

The world is a dynamic place and every sect is a box. As I try to find true self, self within and without the boxes, as I strive to live outside the box, each one is harder than the last. But as I break one I meet a new one, sometimes I wonder if it will ever end.

Finding true self is a journey, not a destination. I tell myself to hit the express, for there are many more boxes to live outside of.

Blank is a word, it means nothing.
